VM console borks with "Alt Gr" key
-
Hi!
It seems that when using a VM console in XOA, the keyboard input borks out when using "Alt Gr" key to type things like "@" (Alt Gr+2) or "" (Alt Gr+? (key next to the 0)). It is tricky to get it back working again. This problem is the same in both Linux consoles and in Windows VMs.
I'm using Swedish keyboard layout in my VMs.

Hi,
It's probably due to the version of noVNC we are using. As we are working on a new UI, we'll use all modern versions of all libs, so that might fix your issue
-
@olivierlambert OK I hope so
Especially not being able to type those keys properly is kind of a bother 
It does work in XCP-ng Center, luckilly. -
Yes, but it's always more tricky in a browser than in a heavy client
-
The problem is still persistent or exisiting again.
Exactly: You can use ALT GR once and get the symbol you need (@ |...) but afterwarts it's just putting weird symbols into the console.
Dirty fix: Change the tab to whatever (general, stats...) and and back to console.Still pretty annoying and kicked me out of one of my servers for some time (thx fail2ban...).

It is something we would like to see fixed, since we have a enterprise plan
In any case, for now the XCP-ng Center works better here. Also allows a pop-out view over the console too. -
As I said, it's a noVNC issue on a non-recent version. It might work better with XO Lite (first alpha with console should be around this quarter)
We can't easily update noVNC right now.
If you want to put more pressure on the dev team about this because you have XOA with pro support, please open a support ticket.

I can confirm: This issue is solved in XO Lite, but still present in XOA.
